Not sure if there is a intro section couldn't seem to find it though I am told that's a guy problem so that's my excuse. I just bought a 2000 TJ Sahara with under 120k on it. Well I made a sbc YJ back in the day and now the urge has resurfaced though this time I want to put and all alum sbc prob an ls-1 in this TJ has anyone done this here? I would love pointers and connections for parts if so. If not a fabbing I will go lol. :oThanks in advance.

Welcome to the site! Sounds like one heck of a build! Be sure to keep us updated in the build up section if you do go ahead with it :D

Will do any idea how much hp and torque these jeep TJ t cases will take or should I go full gm drive?
-
its one of those things, domino effect... you start with an LS1 and everything behind it gets very un-happy. try the full drivetrain, engine tranny and t/case. but the axles will suffer as well. so be prepared to swap axles.
maybe go wheeling with it in stock form and see how that 4.0L really pulls. in 4-low the 6 has the bottom end torque to pull a house down ;)

Ok thanks I did post about a rear dif with discs already but you think I can find it again a guy on here offered to make a ford 8.8 but we asked a price no I can't find the thread . I did have a yj years back I drove the 6 wheeling a few times then went to an aluminum headed 350/350hp.

Advantages. Is doing a ls1 / nv 4500 swap in his tj sometime this winter. Talk to him for pointers.

Ok cool just gathering odd and ends so far and have to get all the pieces I will gladly borrow any info on the swap thanks. Maybe if he needs some hands I could pass a wrench or beers and absorb some tips. Can't find him on the member list hmmm?
